Kickstarter: The nCamp Stove

As many people know, I’m a huge fan of Kickstarter for bringing artistic, humanitarian, and even just fantastically useful gadgets to the marketplace. Well, take a little look at this one:

This stove would solve a problem for many LRPers. As much as I froth about my Frontier stove, I understand that not everyone has the car space or the tent space for one. Some people even come by train – and there’s no way that they could carry a huge iron stove with them.

But this little nCamp stove seems to solve alot of problems. It folds flat into a carrying case that could slip into the door compartment of a car, or the front of a rucksack. It looks sturdy enough to use on either the ground outside your tent or on a table in your camp cooking area. It doesn’t require the transportation of fuel, you can use your own fuel from the surrounding woods if you don’t have a bag of kindling.

Everyone should be able to eat well at LRP, as I said in my post on Friday. But a huge barrier to that is cooking. Well, how about a solution like this? The project has three more days and still needs to find $35000 – but if they reach the right communities then it could be a possibility. And I’d have a new gadget to add to my collection…
